Whether you’re arranging a flight for yourself or as a gift, buying a gift certificate can add a layer of security.

However, if you’ve bought a voucher then they are exchangeable and in many instances refundable. We think they’re a really smart option.

DURING YOUR LEIGHTON BUZZARD BALLOON RIDE

As you drift gently over Leighton Buzzard and the Bedfordshire countryside there will be ample opportunity to take photographs from this unique vantage point. During your flight you are free to discuss how the balloon works with the pilot, who will also be pointing out the many points of interest that drift below you or rest gently on the horizon.

Your champagne toast may be presented at this point, or if the setting is not quite romantic enough, you will be transferred back to your launch site where you can sip on the fine stuff and raise a toast to an unforgettable adventure hot air ballooning over Bedfordshire.
